WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (U. P).
When the hospital is notified of a disaster anywhere in the County, the first City ambulance racing to the scene would carry a chest of medical supplies and a chest containing 100 blankets. The crew of the first ambulance would be two doctors and a nurse. They would begin to take care of) the injured immediately while the second team would be on its way if it were needed. On its return trip. the ambulance would bring back the injured who needed surgery and hospitalization. If the emergency was found widespread involving hundreds of injured, as many of the 70 ambulances as are needed could be called into service. { While the disaster teams on duty were treating hemorrhages and setting broken bones at the scene, City Hospital staff physicians and surgeons would be ready to take care of seriously injured in the accident wards by the time the first ambu-| lance returned from the scene.
Stores to Assist
The stricken would be wheeled into the emergency wards, treated] for serious injuries and sent to! surgery or to the wards as quickly as possible. This scene would be duplicated at the private hospitals if the num-| ber of injured was too great for) the City Hospital to take care of efficiently. Arrangements are being made]. with department stores, chemical] supply houses and drug concerns to get additional blankets and supplies at any time of the day or! night when needed. The complete, City-wide plan, now being developed by the medical | committee of the City Civil Defense | Council, has not yet been perfected, | but the City Hospital organization] is ready to function immediately. |

DEFEND BRITISH WOMEN IN WAR
Slanders About ATS Corps By Catty Backstabbers Are Nailed.
1942, by The Indianapolis ime: The Chicago Daily News,
LONDON, Jan. 20.—Catty ks stabbing by disappointed aspirants to high office in the British women’s forces has forced the Govern-
ment to launch a campaign of counter-propaganda to clear the record of women in uniform. The principal target for slanderous whispering campaigns has been the Auxiliary Territorial Service, the largest and most important of all the women’s uniformed services, which performs 38 different types of work for the army. According to the loose talk which has gone the rounds of the British Isles, women in this service are not properly supervised and are given to immorality and intemperance.
‘Decent as General Run’
According to one particularly phoney story, one of the organization’s high - ranking officers owes her job to the fact that she is the mistress of a cabinet minister whom, in fact, she scarcely knows. The lady in question, who sacrificed a luxurious home life to serve 18 hours daily in the ATS, has met the gentleman three or four times strictly on business and for only a few minutes at a time. As far as the more general charge is concerned, it probably is true that all the members of the ATS are not as pure as the driven snow, but several members who are above reproach testify that their colleagues are just as decent as the general run of women in civil life. Most girls work too hard and are on duty too many hours to run around, even though they want to.
‘Honest and Upright’
Detractors of the service women were sharply taken to task by Mrs. Jean Knox, head of the ATS, and Lieut-Gen. Adam, adjutant general of the British Army. “The ATS,” Mrs. Knox said, “are helping fight the war and there is only credit due tnem for that. They are not immoral ‘and they do not drink. They are honest, upright citizens drawn from a cross-section of this country.” Lieut-Gen. Adam publicly deplored the whispering campaign which he said had reached the army overseas and had caused some

» PENSION FAVORED FOR GONGRESSMEN
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (U. P.) — Congressmen who haven't had the foresight to lay away a little nest egg may not have to worry any more, The public’s chosen Representatives have all but completed action on a little bill which, with minor reservations, assures them ga lifetime income at your Uncle Samuel's expense. The exact amount of the pension would depend upon the length of service, but in numerous cases in both Houses it would be around $4000 a year, and in some cases it would be even more. The bill sets 70 as the compulsory retirement age for all Government employees except members of Congress. A member of the Senate or House, or any other branch of the Government, however, may retire voluntarily at the age of 60 after 30 years of service; at 62 after 15 years of service, and at 55 after 30 years of service. Voluntary retirement under the 55-year-old provisions carries a somewhat reduced annuity. The measure, labelled the Rams-pect-Mead Bill, was passed by the Senate yesterday on a roll call vote of 42 to 24. The House still must act on minor Senate amendments, but little opposition is expected there.
Pajamas Arrive 24 Years Late
KANE, Pa. Jan. 20 (U., P.) — The pajamas were meant for a “dear soldier boy in France” during the First World War 24 years ago, but by some strange quirk they were issued just the other day to a soldier patient in Texas —a fighting man in World War II. The pajamas were sewed by Miss Lillian Longshore of Kane, now deceased, for the American Red Cross in 1918. Like other war workers at the time, she wrote a cheering note and slipped it into a pocket of the garment. Dated July 19, 1618, it was addressed: “To a dear soldier boy in France.” Apparently, the pajamas never reached their original destination. For this month, out in Sheppard Field, Tex. the garment was issued to Pvt. William Dendy, a patient at the Sheppard Field Hospital. The strange story of the pajamas was revealed in two letters received here.

A low bid of $20,032.75 for a project to strengthen a bridge over the Wabash River at Clinton was submitted today to the State Highway Commission by Gradle Bros. Ing, of Indianapolis.

Indiana Politics
By Vern Boxell
A great reluctance on the part of all candidates to get out and start running officially adds another curious note to a campaign that already promises to be slightly screwy at least. With 20 days of January already gone and only 42 days remaining until filings begin, only one candidate has formally announced—Tony Maio for Democratic sheriff. It's hard to get party leaders to agree on just why the fields are sO barren right now, but most of them can get together on the
prediction that the office-seekers there probably will be a lastminute rush and that there will be plenty of horses by primary time May 4. Four major reasons cited by politicians for the present lag are: The internal situation in “both parties, the skip-election confusion, the war, and the recent State ruling that petitions are not necessary this time for the declarations of candidacy.
Many Shifts Possible
THERE'S NOT much doubt about the skip-election squabble causing some delay in the Democratic ranks. As things now stand, Criminal Court Judge Dewey Myers seems to have the inside track on the mayoral nomination. But if the Supreme Court decides that there is to be no mayoral election, Judge Myers will run for re-election and there will be many shifts in candidacies. With the Court House and City Hall factions jostling for positions, and the backers of Al Feeney for Mayor awaiting the Sheriff's decision on whether he will run before going out for offices themselves, there’s no little turmoil in the Democratic ranks. Some strong leadership could straighten things out in a hurry, but that’s apparently lacking. In both parties, the younger candidates are worrying about their chances under war conditions. For example, there's the present Prosecutor's staff, which has been whittled down by Army calls and which will lose more members soon. Quite a few of these young politicians are subject to call—and even those who are not will admit that the war has hurt their chances and given an edge to their elders in the game of politics. By the same token, the war may put into the races several lawyers who have been just lukewarm. Their business is being hurt by the war, and some of the lucrative judicial spots look good to them “for the duration” at least.
G. 0. P. Still Split
On the G. O. P. side, the rift between County Chairman James Bradford and the anti-organiza-tion crowd still is wide and that fact naturally is contributing to the hesitancy of some potential candidates. This includes both the men who don’t want to run unless the party is united and strong enough to give them a good chance for victory in November, and those who are antiBradford and are waiting to see
STRAUSS SAYS:
will begin popping out soon, that
if the opposition is strong enough and has enough money to give them a chance in the primary. Just what effect the list of “invited” candidates given out by Mr. Bradford will have is probe lematical. To say the least, it has stirred up plenty of excite ment. To most Republicans, it was highly acceptable. But some of the choices, especially in the judicial spots, will have to be convinced before they will enter the race. Some of them already have indie cated that they do not choose to run—at least now. The two choices stirring up the most debate are Dr. Walter Hemphill for clerk and Harmon Campbell for sheriff. Both are City councilmen, but if Chair= man Bradford sticks with them (and they were the only ones mentioned for their particular places), he’s bound to have a bate tle on his hands. It’s practically certain, too, that Prosecutor Sherwood Blue will have opposi« tion which will attack his record in office. Mr. Bradford’s reasons for liste ing his choices this far in ade vance, even before a single fore mal announcement, have brought out the chief G. O. P. speculae tions. His opponents say he is trying to throw them off the track and weaken their chances, They also claim that he is ate tempting to hold down the field and to spur up early campaign contributions, and openly doubt that his election day slate will look much like the present lineup. Whatever Mr. Bradford's ine tentions, it will be interesting to see what happens.
